KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – No. 24 Tennessee wrapped up its regular season home slate in style with an 11-1 run-rule victory over Belmont on Tuesday evening at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.

For the third time in their last 14 games, the Volunteers (35-18) blasted six home runs as six different players went deep for the Orange and White in the win.

With those six homers, UT eclipsed the 100-homer mark for the fifth straight season, becoming the first SEC team to ever accomplish that feat.

Levi Clark got the long ball party started with a mammoth two-run blast off the light pole in left-center field in the second inning to put the Vols ahead 2-0.

The Vols added three more runs to their total with three solo shots in the bottom of the fifth, starting with back-to-back blasts from Jay Abernathy and Garrett Wright before Henry Ford launched 1-1 pitch over the porches for his team-leading 16th four-bagger of the year.

Trent Grindlinger started Tennessee’s six-run eighth inning with a solo home run of his own before Hunter High put the finishing touches on the game with his first homer of the season, a two-run shot the opposite way to bring the run-rule into effect.

Sophomore right-hander Nic Abraham was stellar on the mound for the Big Orange in his third midweek start of the year. The California native tossed a careerhigh 5.2 innings against the Bruins (19-33), allowing just one run on four hits while striking out four batters and not issuing any walks to earn the win and improve to 2-0 on the year.

Will Haas, Brady Frederick and Chandler Day combined for 2.1 innings of scoreless relief to finish the game.

With Tuesday’s win, UT also finished the season with a perfect 14-0 record in midweek games, marking the first time it has done that this century. The Vols outscored their 14 midweek opponents 152-33 for the year.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the second time in three weeks, Tennessee’s Tegan Kuhns was named the SEC Pitcher of the Week following another dominant performance in the Volunteers’ series-opening win over No. 3/4 Texas last Friday night.

Kuhns stifled the Longhorns all night long, striking out a career-high 15 batters to tie the SEC single-game high this season. The 15 punchouts were also the most by a UT pitcher since June 4, 2005, when James Adkins notched 15 versus Winthrop in the NCAA Knoxville Regional.

The sophomore right-hander also allowed just four hits and one walk over seven shutout innings to earn his fourth win of the season, outdueling SEC Pitcher of the Year contender Dylan Volantis in the process.

Friday’s outing marked the latest in a string on impressive starts for Kuhns, who has not given up a run in three of his last four starts while tallying at least nine strikeouts in each of those three scoreless appearances.

Kuhns joins Liam Doyle (three times in 2025) and Chase Dollander (twice in 2022) as the only Vols to win multiple SEC Pitcher of the Week honors in the same season this decade.
